Current Complaints

[MMJ_fanatic]

anyways, back to the topic, current complaints.

People who use the word irregardless. The origin of irregardless is not known for certain, but the consensus among references is that it is a portmanteau of irrespective and regardless, both of which are commonly accepted standard English words. By blending these words, an illogical word is created. "Since the prefix ir- means 'not' (as it does with irrespective), and the suffix -less means 'without,' irregardless is a double negative.

THANK GOD somebody else hates this too!  I have a guy that works for that uses it all the time and I haven't been able to bring myself to correct him--maybe upon the next offense

all i have to say right now is FUCK EPSON and all their stupid fancy printers and paper. i have been wrestling with the same four prints for two days and nights now and they all look like crap.  :'( >:(if i had a gun or an ax, i would for real destroy this printer. but, i'd probably be arrested as it's the property of my work.

Try Canon--I bought a Pixma iP4200 when I got my new PC and love it! It was affordable too--about $99.

okay here's my issue. I am completely astounded and aggravated by what i call "The Disappearance of the Female Sleeve." Apparently, the fashion industry has determined that women don't really need sleeves on their t-shirts anymore. they just sew on this piddly excuse for a sleeve and expect us to be appreciative. seriously, it's like 3 square inches of cloth and we're supposed to drop some dollars for that. well guess what. i bought men's shirts today and i'm sticking to my guns until women's t-shirts have REAL sleeves once again. it shall by my life's battle. fin.

i love cap sleeve shirts!  i have kind of broad shoulders, so they make them look smaller.  plus, in the summer, they're really nice to wear because i don't like wearing tank tops

okay, my only current complaint is that it was 71 & Sunny here yesterday - but it's supposed to snow on Saturday.  Enough is enough!   :P

I really want to bail on my graduate program. I'm done with all of my credits and all that's left is a written thesis, oral exams and an exhibition, but the faculty won't let me do these things until next spring (2008). They say it's because I'm not ready, but I suspect it's because they need my labor. That means I can't apply for a tenure-track teaching position that starts next fall, but will instead have to carry on with this bullshit adjunct stuff for another year or find some other temporary thing. I am so frustrated because I really want to get out of this area and move on with my life. It would be a shame to jump ship now but I really need a break from academia. Sometimes I really think that art just doesn't work in an institution anyway. uggh. Thanks for this space to vent. I'm probably just in escapist mode because I just had a taste of the outside world for a few days.

I went to school for commercial art & design and don't have a job in it. I haven't really looked though i don't know where to begin. I just like doing my own thing with it. I don't want to be stuck doing jobs for clients that want something done one way even though i think it might suck. I'd get bored with that.

anybody else play the lottery? i bought a powerball ticket. why is it that i always think i'm going to win? i dream of what i would do with 100 million dollars. and when i always lose, i'm pissed. even when going into it, i know my chances are 1 in 200,000,000,000,009

I've had a shitty, one-thing-after-the-other kind of day.  But the weird thing is I'm not in that bad of a mood, although I certainly should be.  Take that, life!

Not being allowed to go to music festivals. I never have a shot at Bonnaroo or Langerado because of the "crowds". Hey, I'm in high school, I'm older than they think!

Also, that kinda puts me out of this "One Big Holiday" camp talk.  :(
